Jim Tour: Darwin's Deception!? (#278)
Into the Impossible With Brian Keating
Is God All the More Magnificent?
Jim Boulden: Freeman Dyson is functionally indistinguishable from an atheist by his practice. He says we will someday figure out how life was formed and that doesn't negate god for him. How could an intelligent alien look down at an agnostic, he asks? "I think an agnostism would be a great cop-out because people aren't willing to take a side"
James (Jim) Tour is a renowned chemist and nanotechnologist and is the T.T. and W.F. Chao Professor of Chemistry, Comp. Sci., Materials Science & NanoEngineering, at Rice University in Houston, Texas. He conducts research at the Smalley-Curl Institute & NanoCarbon Center.
Dr. Tour has been the source of many well-publicized debates on and offline, including with Prof. Lee Cronin: Are we close to discovering the Origin Of Life? James Tour vs Lee Cronin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DHvN...
Tour's research has been the subject of a video by Dave Farina, a YouTuber, arguing that Tour is wrong and that origin-of-life researchers are well on their way to solving the mystery of life’s origin:
